Ravens rookie kicker Kaare Vedvik was out in Fells Point, a Baltimore neighborhood, before he was assaulted early Saturday, but he does not remember the circumstances that led to his assault, according to a police report.
Vedvik, 24, was found with "upper body injuries" around 4 a.m. Saturday in the 2000 block of Boone St. in East Baltimore's Midway neighborhood and was taken to Maryland Shock Trauma Center for treatment, according to police.
Darren Sanders, vice president of security for the Ravens, told police before he fell asleep Friday night he spoke to Vedvik, who told him he was out in Fells Point with a couple of teammates earlier in the evening, according to the report.
"They wanted to leave but he wanted to stay out longer with a couple of ladies that he was with," the report said.
Vedvik's teammates left, and later called him at about 3:09 a.m. Saturday, when Vedvik told them "he was good," according to the report. Vedvik told Sanders he does not remember what happened after that and does not know how he ended up in the 2000 block of Boone St., where he was found.
A few residents who live in the block where Vedvik was found said they were asleep during the incident and did not hear anything. They awoke the next morning to find police officers and yellow tape at the end of alley, across from a vacant lot and a row of mostly vacant houses on Boone Street. The area is just a few blocks from the busy intersection of the major thoroughfares of North and Greenmount avenues and busy bus stops.
Neighbors said the street has been mostly quiet this summer. The closest club or bar or gas station _ businesses that are open late _ are several blocks away. Most of the nearby smaller corner shops close earlier in the evening, they said, questioning why Vedvik would have ventured to the area at such an hour.
Vedvik's phone and wallet were also missing, according to the police report.
Vedvik was not able to give a statement to police Saturday, the report said.
The kicker and punter was placed on the team's reserve non-football injury list Saturday.
